- Willingness to scarifice
- Compassion
- Caring
- Performing acts of Heroism
- Helping other people
I believe that Captain Miller is a hero, because he gives his life, so that Private Ryan can return home, because his mother had already lost three sons in the war. He led his squad far and wide searching for Private Ryan, then when they found him, he is shot and killed protecting Private Ryan.
I believe that James Bond is a hero, because he sacrifices his life, so that he can stop evil people from destroying the world. He always is hurt and maimed when he is on a mission.

This list of heroes is here, because it has a good indicator of how many good movie heroes there are.
These movies are here, because Han Solo and Don Corleone are both heroes, who make many sacrifices so that they can protect those that they love.
Atticus Finch is here, because he sacrifices his reputation and his popularity with the townspeople, so that he can support what he believes is right. He also helps a man with no one else that would be his lawyer. Atticus receives a lot of persecution for his representing of a black man, but he stands up for his beliefs.
While studying movie heroes, I discovered that there are two types of heroes, people who are heroic through good, and those who are heroic through evil. But both of these groups of people have the same characteristics of caring for others, being compassionate, caring, and willing to make sacrifices, even if it involves their life. All of these people are heroes for these reasons, and should be revered as so.
